Nick vs Conor actually makes a lot of sense at this point. I'd watch it.
The fight made the most sense in 2017.
Sept 2015 - Diaz suspended for 5 years, for testing positive for marijuana metabolites (
)
Aug 2016 - Conor beat Nick's brother Nate, by decision (leaving their rivalry at a 1-1 record)
Jan 2016 - Nick's suspension was reduced to 18 months, retroactive to his last fight (Jan 31, 2015)
Aug 2017 - Was eligible to fight, would have been ideal time to match these two HUGE superstars up in the octagon.
2024 - Would watch (don't get me wrong), but Nick is way, way out of his prime...and Conor is not far behind, I imagine. Father Time remains undefeated, though.
Also noted that Nick made it known that he didn't want to step on Nate's toes and steal his rivalry/thunder/red panty night. Also, it didn't seem like he wasn't open to the idea of his own red panty night and crack at whoopin up on Conor. That would have been a big fight, at the time...
